The threatened campaign against the Standard Oil company has been avert ed by agreement reached at a meeting of delegates from Scandinavian pe troleum dealers' associations and the Standard Oil company's Danish branch, which is known as the "Dan ish Petroleum company." Under the agreement the Standard Oil company guarantees that prices for oil in Scan dinavia shall be no higher than else where. The representatives of the dealers' unions accepted this, consid ering that it would be impossible to obtain better terms at present. The Standard Oil company now only makes five-year contracts with the dealers. The Danish branch of the big corpora tion also controls the sale of oil in Sweden and Norway, but owing to the "war" last year this only amounted to 8 per cent. In previous years It aver aged from 25 to 40 per cent. DENMARK. It is proposed to abolish th« old practice of feeding a certain class of convicts on an exclusive diet of bread and water. About 300 medals from the time of the absolute monarchy in Denmark have been found in an old bureau at the house of Carl Branth, a farmer In Kjorupsgaard. A Chinese family came from Ger many to Denmark for the purpose of making a living by giving music, sing ing and fortune-telling. But the Copen hagen police put them in the class of vagabonds and escorted them back to the German frontier. Hon. John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, recently made a trip through Europe and after his return to America he made the following remarks about Denmark: "In Denmark the science of agricul ture has probably been developed to a higher degree of efficiency than in any Other country in the world. The soil Df the two eastern islands, Loland and Beeland, is a very rich clay and the land looks like that in Carver and Le Sueur counties in Minnesota. It Is everywhere maintained in a splen did state of cultivation. The fields, however, are not as free from foul Beeds as they might be, and on the bet ter farms in Minnesota the farming Is much cleaner. This is undoubted ly due to our corn crop which en ables our farmers to virtually clean op their fields when in corn The only crop that they have serving that pur pose is the sugar beet, and that is rarely produced in areas comparable to our corn fields." SWEDEN. The late Anders Viktor Ludstrom, a Stockholm merchant, willed aboul $125,000 to different religious organ! nations.

Corner Litchfield Ave. and Sixth St. Willmar, Minn. A large number of crawfish hav died in Svart river, near Karlskoga and their carcasses are piled up along the edge of the water. A man wh has studied the habits of these ani mals claims that the laws have pro tected them so successfully that theii large numbers can no longer fint enough food, and so they simplj •tarve to death. S. A. Ekehorn, a Swedish engineer has invented a motor plow of an en tirely new type. For the time beini he calls it the "fork plow," because the work is done by forks that dig ui the dirt, break It up as no ordinal plow can ever do, and turn It over The forks can dig much deeper thai ordinary plows. The work actuallj done by the plow proves that it wil plow better and do it more cheaplj than horse plows. A new companj will soon be ready to manufacture the "fork plow" for the market. The government has announced that a sham mobilization on a large acale has been planned for next fall but the date is still a deep secret Then comes C. Tranchell, the presi dent of the great Swedish sugar trust aad explains that if the mobilizatior Is to take place between Oct. 7 anc Dec. 24 the work in the sugar factor les will be so seriously disturbed that it will result in a loss of hundreds ol thousands of dollars, and severa, thousand men will be thrown out ol work for an Indefinite' period. The mere fact that the conservative press devotes much space to the remon •trance proves that the matter is really as serious as represented bj Mr. Tranchell. The British Olympic committet says- Sweden won all the points ii the modern pentathlon and obtained more points than any other nation ir the whole of the games by sedulouslj cultivating every form of physical ability possessed by her inhabitants and her strength and capacity as nation have been enormously in creased in the process. The police and the public carrier* of Stockholm pick up an averagt of nine umbrellas a day which have been forgotten by their owners. Onlj about ene-third of them are ever re turned to their owners. The birds and beasts of prey dio damage for $35,000 in Sweden during the year 1910. The king has declared that he la willing to act as the patron of the Olympic society. C. Swartz, former member of the cabinet, has offered as a gift to the city of Norrkopung a cottage worth about $60,000. The wish of the giver is, that the building be used for the libraries of the city. The sugar beets are not doing well on account of excessive rain. The tests made In the latter part of Aug ust proved that the proportion of sugar was two per cent lower than at the same period last year. Even the size of the beets have been unfavor ably affected by the moisture. Suit able weather for the next six weeks, however, may improve the crop very materially. The infantile paralysis epidemic is assuming the proportions of a nation al calamity.

LARS HALVORSON sidered to be very serious lasl year. But while the whole number of cases reported during the first eight months of the year 1911 was 476, the number for the corresponding period this year was swelled to 1,459. It is a cur ious fact that the city of Stockholm has a very low percentage of cases, while Halland Ian heads the list of percentages. Floods have done very great dam age in Halland Ian. Many large bridges were so badly damaged that they cannot be used until repaired. At least two human lives were lost. Alfred Johansson, who was employed on the Enskifte farii, Velnge, was drowned in the Alt,'of river while sav ing bundles of gra'n A girl in Vra parish lost her life in the same man ner. There was no service in the Rafvinge church because the pastor could not reach the place on* account of the cond ticn of the roads. Albert Engstrom told the following story: I witnessed how a Swede and a Finn cleaned out a seamen's saloon in West Hartlepool. They were mates on their respective steamers, two small, square, broad-shouldered men, who calmly enjoyed their glass of beer. An old woman came in to beg. A man threw his glass into her face The Swede arose, and the next instant a glass of water was thrown in his face. And the Finn jumped up and slapped the face of the perpetrator with his flat hand. This started the fun. My blood began to boil, and I had scarcely assisted the woman out of doors when the customers began to rush out of the saloon. At least fifty men were chased out. The saloon was empty inside of two minutes. And when I came in the Swede and the Finn were sitting as though nothing had happened. I stepped up to thank them They arose and bowed, accord ing to the custom of their countries, and they had no objection to a grog. The police came, for the host made a fuss because his customers had been kicked out. But the policeman was kind, and there was no more trouble 'Nothing to thank for," said the Swede, "a fellow must be a Swede, of course.'' Tears actually started to my eyes, for the fight was glorious, first Dlass, overwhelming. With such peo ple we can conquer the world. And we have lots of such people. NORWAY. The Norwegian Olmypic committee sent a fine address of thanks to the Swedish managers of the Olympic games in Stockholm for the splendid manner in which the games were man aged. It is said that a scientific review of Captain Roald Amundson's docu ments from the discovery of the south pole proved that he had made a mis take in his calculations amounting tc a little less than one English mile The commune board of Storelveda len has appointed an electric power committee, and this committee pro poses that the commune take steps tc expropriate the Lille waterfalls in Sokunna, and that an electric power and light plant be built at a cost of $60,000. A thunderbolt of more than usual freakishness struck a trolley wire run ning from a mountain ridge to the bot tom of a valley in Sogn. In the first place the wire, which was six hun dred yards long, was melted from end to end. At its lower end the lightning jumped into the house, breaking 35 window lights and completely tearing up the cement floor in the kitchen. A central table belonging to the tele phone station was split into kindling wood, and other furniture was also spoiled. The only living beings in the house at the time were a little boy and a cat. The cat was killed, but the boy was not touched. Former Premier Gunnar Knudsen has been stumping the southeastern and northern parts of the country in regular American fashion.

Hudson family in Union Grove, was the victim of a shooting accident Monday, shooting himself thru the stomach and hip with a 32 calibre revolver. He fired a shot at a chicken-hawk and cocked the re volver to take another shot but did not shoot. Forgetting that the gun was cocked, he attempted to put it in his pocket or in the waist band of his trousers, when it was discharged. The muzzle was at his waist line at the right side when the shot went off. The bullet entered the abdominal cavity and ranging downward stop ped somewhere in the left hip. The victim Was taken to a Litchfield hos pital in a precarious condition. The accident proved fatal, Ennis dying from his injuries late Tuesday after noon.—Atwater Republican-Press.

How the Play Was Started. As George Barr McCutcheon, au thor, tells the story, it was his bro ther John who suggested to him the writing of "Brewster's Millions." They were walking together one day when a flaring sign upon a bill board with $1,000,000 lightly offered as a reward for a set of teeth some particular powder would not scour attracted their attention. Neither George nor Joha is old enough to be interested in a new set of teeth as jet, being from Indiana, but the money proposition appealed to them. "Why don't you write a story about a man who had a million and didn't know what to do with it?" in quired John. "Or one who had to get rid of a million" suggested George. "Brewster's Million^" was the re sult. When he took it to a publisher it was a short story. That wise per sonage advised him to lengthen it until it would fill a book of respect able size. He did so, and then it was decided that as another of his books w|is about to be published it would not be wise to have them both appear at once. So "Brewster's Millions" was brought out under a non de plume. Six months later George Barr McCutcheon was forced to ad mit that the book by the unknown was more attractive to the reading pub he than the one bearing his name. In due time a play was made from the book, and this play is to be brot to the Willmar Opera House, Monday. Sept. 23, following a wonderfully successful season in New York. It is bright, entertaining and novel. Play ing the principal roles are Clyde Bates, a capable light comedian and Grace Nile, an ingenue eminentl} fit ted for the part of the ingenious "Peggy" Gray. Rummage Sale. During the Kandiyohi county fair to be held at Willmar on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18, 19, 20 and 21, the Ladies' Guild of St. Luke's church will hold a "Rummage Sale" in the Jorgenson building on 5th street, one door south of Kandiyohi County Bank.

SUPREMO FLOUR NEWS FROM FATHERLAND A Brief Resume of the Most Im portant Happenings In the lt German Empire. Two families near Posen ate pois onouB mushrooms. The result was terrible. Seven of them died in a short while, and several others were not expected to survive. kaiser Wilhelm has gone on record for nationalized golf. That is he told the ministry of agriculture that he favors a grant of government land on Lake Grlebuitz for a course. Prince Adalbert, the third eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm, attended a ban* Quet given to Kaiser Wilhelm in Zurich, Switzerland. The prince at tended incognito, and It took hours before it became generally known that he was present. The latest record made by the Hanaa, a Zeppelin airship, is wonder ful Indeed. The ship is constructed for starting and stopping either on land or on water. Competitive races were arranged for at Heiligendamm, a popular watering place on the coast of Mecklenburg. The Hansa carried 42 pereons, including the crew and man/ noted experts who watched everything with a critical eye. Sev eral times the ship settled on the water and rose again with perfect ease, making a series of revolutions on every trip through the air. An Immense concourse of people wit nessed the beautiful sight. Waen Germany heard of the fact that our government has commenced to vash old, dirty paper money the German government wrote for particu lars. The kaiser's people were in formed by Director Joseph E. Ralph of the bureau of engraving and print ing chat if they would like a sample of Uncle Sam's work they might have It by sending the goods to experiment on. Shortly afterward he received about 2,000 German bills, 57,000 marks. It was thought that the texture of the bills might not permit the same vigor ous treatment as is given United States money, but the wash "looked beautiful." Germany now wants some of the machines and Director Ralph expects they will be used by all coun tries within a short time. Germany is preparing a big effort to capture the South American trade when the Panama canal opens by means of lavish display and an ener getic advertising campaign at the San Francisco exposition in 1915. German representation at the fair has the di rect support of the imperial govern ment and the kaiser himself takes a keen interest in the coming campaign of German traders. Speaking at Ham burg recently he said: "Where they lead I will follow." The North Ger man Lloyd Steamship company is launching four new cargo liners des tined exclusively for the South Ameri can trade. Germans realize that the American tariff bars them from de veloping an export trade with the United States, but does not prevent their starting a campaign for the in vasion of Latin America. Two Berlin doctors haye raised their voices in defense of that much abused garment, the corset. Professors Felix Hirschfeld and Adolph Loewy declare that for a certain type of physique that is especially prone to consump tion the use of corsets may act as a preventative of that disease. "Paralytic thorax" is the name given to the type of physique capable of being benefited by the corset, length and flatness of the chest being its characteristics. Exhaustive experi ments with the Roentgen rays on the respiratory organs of persons of this class resulted in the conclusion that whereas the corset diminished the depth it increased the frequency of breathing, so that the total amount of air taken into the lungs remained the same. They pointed out that in cases where the disease has already at tacked the lower portion of the lungs the corset is directly harmful. Our government in Washington is taking much interest in the recent reports from Ambassador Leishman on the system of rural banks in Ger many, which furnish credit at low rate to artisans, workmen and the small business men of Germany. These banks have a large capital, and in consequence they ar° able ta do a gen eral banking business. The primary Dbject of these banks is to furnish their members with cheap, quick money. They lend on current account and for stated periods. Workmen or small tradesmen needing this aid are able to secure it on the guarantee Df their fellows in the association. Embassador Leishman reports that these banks find no difficulty in bor rowing from the large banks at rates averaging less than 4 pir cent on their total working capital, and they pay dividends to shareholders of from 5 to 7 per cent, as a rule. In some in stances they have been even more profitable. They deposit their funds, which are not needed for current busi aess, with the larger banks in the cities, thus maintaining relations which extend financial mobility throughout the entir* system. The government of Bulgaria has or dered several double-deck airships of the albatross type. This order is the more flattering to German industry because the authorities at Sophia made a thorough test of French and English airships, which, however, were inferior to the German product. The German press is highly pleased with the cordial manner in which Kaiser Wilhelm was received on his recent visit to Switzerland. Long ex tracts from £he newspapers of Switz erland are also given to show that the cordiality was not merely politeness to the person of the kaiser.
